U.S. Maps - Contribution Rate Measurements

The map above is shaded based upon the share of each state's own revenues that would need to be contributed in order that each state may avoid an increase in the unfunded pension liability using MVL standards. If you hover over any of the states, there are two additional figures provided as well: (i) the share of the state's own revenues actually contributed to the pension systems and (ii) the share of a state's own revenues that would need to be contributed in order that the state may avoid an increase in the unfunded liability under the state's expected rate of return on assets. (NOTE: see Figures 5 & 6 in “Relevant Charts and Figures – 2017” for another visual representation of these figures)
